Best-Laid Plans

R E M I The alchemist's eyes widened as Sam suggested that they could kiss all day. In the back of his mind he could see Jigano shaking his head, and Remi immediately regretted what he'd just done. He .. kissing Sam had been entirely selfish. If he was never going to come back from the Spire, he did not want to die not knowing what it was like to kiss another man. What he hadn't really considered is what the kiss would mean if he did come back. It was foolish, really. Sam loved him, they had been together only, what? a few days ago? Of course he would read more into the kiss than the alchemist had wanted. The gentle swinging of their hands was a sensation one-passed what Remi's mind could handle, and though he tried to smile and make it seem like it was nothing, he slowly pulled his hand away. "I am sorry." Remi said with an apologetic wince, the pad of his thumb gently touching his fingertips where they'd been connected to Sam, his eyes squeezing shut for a moment. He'd been so naive, and it was all too clear now. How the ghosting of his fingers against Sam's had been immediately grabbed into a hand-hold, how a kiss had turned into the offer of more. He doubted that Sam could ever go at the pace the alchemist needed, and perhaps it was unfair of Remi to even casually suggest that he should. "I...have a lot to do to prepare..." Remi said at least, voice softly trailing off.
